This non-Catholic can only say "Amen." Modern man worships anything and everything but the one true God. Instead, he invents ways of doing evil, as Paul the apostle said. He does this because his heart is 'deceitful and desperately wicked," as Jeremiah the prophet concluded.
Is there a way to change our direction? Yes, there is, but it will not come through politics or pressure groups seeking to impose their will on a majority who do not have the mind of Christ. A starting point would be for us to live and act as Jesus commanded, beginning with that part about making disciples. That is different from making converts to your point of view.
